[B] 国際養子縁組の影:赤ん坊の人身売買だったのか?  スウェーデン で政府調査委員会が人権侵害を指摘 松沢みゆき

2 days 11 hours ago
スウェーデンに住む筆者のまわりにも、国際養子縁組によって赤ん坊のころに海をわたってやってきた人はたくさんいる。韓国からだったり、インドネシアからだったり、コロンビア、チリ、アフリカなどなど… 実の親が育てることができず、国際養子としてはるばるスウェーデンまでやってきたわけだが、養子の受け入れを希望する家庭はかなり厳しい審査を受けて決定され、財政的にも相当の余裕をもっている事が多い。

Congress Can Act Now to Protect Reproductive Health Data

2 days 15 hours ago

State, federal, and international regulators are increasingly concerned about the harms they believe the internet and new technology are causing to users of all categories. Lawmakers are currently considering many proposals that are intended to provide protections to the most vulnerable among us. Too often, however, those proposals do not carefully consider the likely unintended consequences or even whether the law will actually reduce the harms it’s supposed to target. That’s why EFF supports Rep. Sara Jacobs’ newly reintroduced “My Body, My Data" Act, which will protect the privacy and safety of people seeking reproductive health care, while maintaining important constitutional protections and avoiding any erosion of end-to-end encryption.

Tell Congress to Protect Reproductive Health Data

Privacy fears should never stand in the way of healthcare. That's why this common-sense bill will require businesses and non-governmental organizations to act responsibly with personal information concerning reproductive health care. Specifically, it restricts them from collecting, using, retaining, or disclosing reproductive health information that isn't essential to providing the service someone requests.

The bill would protect people who use fertility or period-tracking apps or are seeking information about reproductive health services.

These restrictions apply to companies that collect personal information related to a person’s reproductive or sexual health. That includes data related to pregnancy, menstruation, surgery, termination of pregnancy, contraception, basal body temperature or diagnoses. The bill would protect people who, for example, use fertility or period-tracking apps or are seeking information about reproductive health services. 

We are proud to join Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Reproductive Freedom for All, Physicians for Reproductive Health, National Partnership for Women & Families, National Women’s Law Center,  Center for Democracy and Technology, Electronic Privacy Information Center, National Abortion Federation, Catholics for Choice, National Council for Jewish Women, Power to Decide, United for Reproductive & Gender Equity, Indivisible, Guttmacher, National Network of Abortion Funds, and All* Above All in support of this bill. 

In addition to the restrictions on company data processing, this bill also provides people with necessary rights to access and delete their reproductive health information. Companies must also publish a privacy policy, so that everyone can understand what information companies process and why. It also ensures that companies are held to public promises they make about data protection and gives the Federal Trade Commission the authority to hold them to account if they break those promises. 

The bill also lets people take on companies that violate their privacy with a strong private right of action. Empowering people to bring their own lawsuits not only places more control in the individual's hands, but also ensures that companies will not take these regulations lightly. 

Finally, while Rep. Jacobs' bill establishes an important national privacy foundation for everyone, it also leaves room for states to pass stronger or complementary laws to protect the data privacy of those seeking reproductive health care. 

We thank Rep. Jacobs and Sens. Mazie Hirono and Ron Wyden for taking up this important bill, H.R. 3916, and using it as an opportunity not only to protect those seeking reproductive health care, but also highlight why data privacy is an important element of reproductive justice.
